]]> Sometimes you just get tired of chicken, beef, and fish.  Sometimes you want to spice it up a bit and try something new.  While it doesn’t exactly make you Evel Knievel for trying it, a lot of people have never had venison before.   If you find yourself in those ranks, venison is the fancy term for deer meat.  I was fortunate enough to grow up in a family of hunters, so we found ourselves eating deer a few times a year.  Believe it or not, deer meat, if done correctly, can be just as delicious and flavorful as any beef or chicken.  Plus, by volume, it is a much leaner meat, meaning more of your calories are coming from protein and less from fat.  Surprisingly, venison is also denser in several nutrients than beef, including: iron, B6, and riboflavon.

This is a delicious and nutritious twist on a classic dish that will add a ton of variety to your diet.  Also, it stores very well, making this an ideal choice for a multiple day meal-prep, and it can also serve as an excellent high-protein side dish for holiday meals.

In general, venison is a fantastic protein source alternative to beef or chicken because it’s low in fat calories, meaning you can eat more of them and fill fuller longer, with the bonus of giving yourself extra protein to fuel your recovery.

Bulking Tips

If you want to add calories, feel free to sub a minced beef in place of venison.  Obviously this changes the point of this recipe tremendously, but sometimes calories are more important.

Cutting Tips

If you want to cut calories, try using a lower calorie sour cream.
